Demazure descent and representations of reductive groups

Abstract

We introduce the notion of Demazure descent data on a triangulated category C and define the descent category for such data. We illustrate the definition by our basic example. Let G be a reductive algebraic group with a Borel subgroup B. Demazure functors form Demazure descent data on the derived category of Rep(B) and the descent category is equivalent to the derived category of Rep(G).
